PLUMBING FLUSH FEATURE
This feature is automatic, no programming or adjustments are necessary. When in
auto mode, the cell power will automatically switch off 30 seconds before the pump
to ensure cell housing and plumbing is flushed of concentrated chlorine. This unique
feature prevents high chlorine levels in the pipe work diffusing through and corroding
heat exchangers and the possibility of damaging other sensitive equipment upstream
of the cell.
SALT LEVELS AND DIAGNOSTIC DISPLAY
Refer to the list below to determine the ideal salt level for your model of salt chlori-
nator. Ideal range is 2800ppm @ 68
o
F (25 lbs salt per 1000 gal.)
Allowing the salt level to fall outside the recommended parameters may reduce cell life
and efficiency. Aquapower-plus has unique features that prevent the likelihood of this
occurring.
VERY LOW OR NO SALT CONDITION - CRITICAL
This condition is common when a new pool is commissioned. The chlorinator & pump
may be switched on days or even weeks before the salt has been added. Operat-
ing the cell under very low or no salt condition would dramatically reduce the life of
the cell. The Aquapower-plus microprocessor constantly senses the salinity and will
recognize a very low or no salt condition. It will at this point switch the power off to the
cell to protect it from damage and display the condition via a scrolling message.
Lo SALT - OFF
The pump will continue to operate as it should. When the condition improves i.e.; suf-
ficient salt is added, the power to cell will automatically restore.
LOW SALT OR CELL IS IN NEED OF CLEANING CONDITION
If the salt level falls below the ideal operating level, or the cell is calcified sufficiently
to reduce the output, a warning message will scroll intermittently across the display.
(The power to the cell will remain on)
• Following this scrolling message, the display will show the maximum percentage
output that it is able to attain.
CLEAN CELL or Lo SALT
This message will cease when the salt level is topped off sufficiently or the electrode
is cleaned or both.
Note: It Is good practice to have your pool water tested by a pool profes-
sional on a regular basis. Despite lasting many years, chlorinator elec-
trodes have a limited life. If an electrode begins to fail It may indicate by
way of the chlorinator display, that the salt level is low when in fact it is not.
It is for this reason we recommend a pool professional test the salt level
every four months or if there is a suspicion that the electrode is failing.

For vertical cell installation
refer to this diagram.
This installation may be preferred when
horizontal space is a problem, or the
bypass it contains is actually beneficial
where high flow in-floor cleaning systems
require a minimum pressure drop across
the cell. The by-pass is optional. If by-pass
is used refer to sizing chart at bottom of
this diagram. Also when a vertical install is
performed there is not need to loop into the
cell as on a horizontal installation.
(BYPASS)
I HP PUMP -
USE 3/4 inch BYPASS
1 1/2 HP PUMP -
USE 1 inch BYPASS
2 HP PUMP -
USE 1 1/4 (1.25”) inch BYPASS

POWER PACK - Installation guide
The Aquapower-plus power pack is supplied with a mounting bracket, three screws
and three masonry plugs.
The power supply has been tested and approved to attain all relevant electrical and
safety authority approvals. The unit is suitable for outdoor installation and has an
ETL/ UL rating. Unit should be installed 10 ft. from the pool edge.
Always mount the power pack at least 4 feet above ground level and within 6 feet
of the cell. Ensure the pump is close enough such that the lead will plug into the
power pack base. The unit comes with an 8 foot cell lead.
Air flow around the power supply must not be restricted or warmed from a heat
source.
Unit must be hardwired into an approved power source. (Do not use extension
cords)
